To create a diverse, inclusive, and equitable culture within the Neurology community where everyone can thrive and celebrate their authentic selves.

 

Unity Gallery Mission

 

The Unity Gallery at the Neurology Center aims to amplify diverse artistic voices for the University of Rochester Medical Center’s community, extending its reach to the broader Rochester region and beyond through visual art.

How we do this:

Championing Contemporary Perspectives: Enriching our community by supporting dynamic programming and showcasing a diverse array of artists who boldly confront and captivate with their reflections on contemporary ideas, challenging norms to inspire a deeper connection with the world around us.

  1. Cultivating Inclusive Participation: Striving to engage and empower an ever-expanding, inclusive audience by breaking down barriers and creating an environment where everyone feels welcome, fostering a sense of belonging, and enabling diverse voices to contribute to the artistic discourse.

  2. Celebrating Artistic Diversity: Dedication to presenting the works of both established luminaries and promising emerging artists, transcending geographical boundaries to spotlight the vibrant creativity emanating from New York State and beyond, ensuring a rich tapestry of perspectives and styles.

  3. Promoting Dialogue and Understanding: Actively seeking out unique voices and cultivating new audiences from diverse backgrounds, our gallery serves as a catalyst for open dialogue and shared understanding, fostering an environment where art becomes a powerful medium for connecting people and bridging gaps in perspectives.

  4. Cultivating Collaborative Ecosystems: Nurturing collaborative partnerships with the university, medical center, and various arts and community organizations, we strive to create a holistic cultural ecosystem that extends beyond the gallery walls. By working together, we amplify the impact of the arts, fostering innovation, education, and community development.
